8-Day Rwenzori Mountains Trekking

8 Days Rwenzori Mountains, Uganda Serengeti Wildlife Safari 5.0/5 from 6 reviews

Overview

An 8-day trek through the Rwenzori Mountains, nicknamed the 'Mountains of the Moon,' home to Africa's third-highest peak and a dramatically different trekking experience from Kilimanjaro.

Unlike Kilimanjaro's more straightforward ascent, the Rwenzori range involves glaciers, bogs, dramatic afro-alpine vegetation and genuine technical sections, making it a favorite among experienced trekkers looking for a harder, less crowded mountain challenge. Margherita Peak, the range's highest point, is Africa's third-highest summit.
